Joseph Arthur - Crying like a man lyrics

rate me

You must destroy

All who you employ

To protect your last invention

Work hard its destruction

Ignore your good intention

You must ignore the wrong voice

Whose voice

A peculiar choice

Well I'm sure

You and I can't remember

Living like a backwards trainwreck

trying to disguise the deceit

Intrinsic in our step

When love's got us by the neck

Why can't we just surrender

I'll be quiet

I won't wake you up

Don't whine

Drink wine

Like terpentine

Cleaning out your inside in line

From your toes up through your spine

Pretend you're a conductor

Maestro without music

God without man

Me without you

Holding your hand

Falling like a leaf

Crying like a man

We silently confess through open eyes

Setting fire to the web spun right behind

In my mind's a spider

And in your heart's a fly

When you're meek you are malicious

Somehow still suspicious

Faithlessly religious
